UMBRELLA-SUPPORT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 347,343, dated August 17, 1886.

(No model.)

To tZZ whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, FREDRICK HAITZ, a citizenof the United States, residing at To- Wanda, inthe county of McLean and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Umbrella-Supports, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in umbrella-supports; and it consists in the peculiar construction and combination of devices, that will be more fully set forth hereinafter, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

The object of my invention is to provide an umbrella-support that is adapted to attach an umbrella to a wagon or other vehicle or to an agricultural machine-suc'n as a mowing-machine, a grain-binder, or corn-planter, Ste.- said support being provided with means by which the umbrella may be adj usted vertically or horizontally. orinclined to any desired angle.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is anelevation of an umbrella-support embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is an elevation at right angles to Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a top plan view. Fig. 5 is a detail sectional View on th`e line x w of Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is a detail View.

This invention is an improvement on Letters Patent of theUnited States No.314,290, granted to me March 24,1885, and No. 326,214, granted to me September 15, 1885.

A represents the socket, which is secured to the seat of the vehicle or machine by means of an arm, B.

C represents the'standard or rod, which is made of two sections, D and E. The lower section, E, is provided at its lower end with a re duced shank, e, that fits in the socket A, and the upper end of the said section E has asocket,

` e', to receive a similar shank, d, on the lower .end of the section D. The upper end of the v section D has a socket, cZ',of considerable depth.

F representsa rod, which lits in the socket d,and is provided on one side with a vertical series of notches7 f. A pin, G, passes through an opening made in the upper end of the section D, and is adapted to engage either of the notches f,and thereby support the rod F in the 5o section D at Aany desired vertical adjustment. The upper `end of the rodv F is enlarged and provided with ahead, f, andin the upper end of the rod F is made a vertical socket, f2.

,H represents a vertical hollow cylindrical sleeve, which is fitted on the head f', and is provided at its upper end with ears h.

. I represents a piston-rod, which fits `in the socketf2 of the rod F,and has on its upper end an enlarged head or piston that works in the sleeve H. A coiled extensile spring, K, is placed around the pistonrod, the lower end of the said spring bearing against the upper end of the rod F, and the upper end of the said spring bearingl against the lower side of the piston. j

L represents a vertical standard, the lower end of which is provided with vertical slots Z and Z', which are arranged at right angles to and intercept each other. The lower end of this standard lits in the sleeve H, and is secured therein by a horizontal roller, M, which is journaled in two of the ears h and extends through the slotZ, and a roller, N, which is journaled between the remaining pair of ears l1., at right angles to the roller M and below the same, and passes through the slot Z.

From the foregoing description it will be understood that the standard L is free to move vertically in the sleeve H, and that the said standard issupported upon thespringK. The upper end of the standard has a horizontal circular head, Z2, which is provided with a series of vertical recesses, Z3, near its outer edge. From the upper sideof the head Z2, at the center thereof, projects a vertical stud, Z5.

O represents a horizontal platform, which is journaled on the stud Z5 and is free to turn thereon. This platform is provided with a vertically-movable stop-pin, P, which is adapted to engage either of the openings Z?, and thereby secure the platform on the head Zz'at any desired point. From one side of the platform depends a vertical segmental plate, O', near the outer edge of which is made a series of horizontal recesses, O2. Ears O3 project upwardly from the front side of the platform O, at the center thereof, and in the rear end of the said platform is hinged a link, R.

S represents a horizontal arm or shaft having one end journaled in the link R and eX- tending across the Vplatform O, and resting thereon and bearing between the ears O3.

The front end of this arm is provided with an enlarged head, S', the outer end of which is socketed, and from the lower side of the said head depends a sweep-arm, S2, which bears against the face of the segment-plate O', and is provided with a spring-actuated pin or bolt, Si, that is adapted to engage either of the openings O2, so as to secure the arm or shaft S on the platform at any desired angle.

T represents a horizontal rod, the inner end of which is secured in the socketed head S by means of a transverse pin, t. That portion of the rod T which extends outwardly from the head S is square, and on the upper side of the same is made a seriesof notches, T. On the outer end of the rod T is secured a verti` cal handle, U, of an umbrella. The said handle is provided at its lower end with an opening, which fits over the rod T, and has a springactuated bolt, V, which engages with one of the notches T', and thus secures the umbrella to the rod T and permits the umbrella to be adjusted longitudinally on the said rod. This umbrella should preferably be constructed as described in my application for Letters Patent of the United States led herewith, but may be of the ordinary construction.

The operation of my invention will be very readily understood from the foregoing description in connection with the accompanying drawings.

Having thus described my invention, I clai1n 1. The combination, in an umbrella-support, of the standard C, the rod F, attached thereto, and having the head f', provided with the vertical socket f, the sleeve H, fitted in the head f', the spring bearing under the said sleeve,

the platform supported on the upper end of' the sleeve, and having means for turning the same and securing the platform at any desired point, and the horizontal arm hinged to the platform and adapted to partly rotate thereon, the said arm having the rod T to secure the umbrellahandle, substantially as described.

2. The combination, with the standard C, of the rod F, attached thereto and vertically adj ustable, the said rod having the soeketed head f', provided at its upper end with the transverse rollers M and N, arranged at right angles to each other, the sleeve H, fitting in the socketed head and having the transverse vertical slotsl and l', in which the rollers work, the said sleeve carrying the platform provided with the horizontal arm, and thevspring located in the lower end of the socketed head f and bearing under the sleeve H, substantially as described.

3. The combination, in an umbrella-support, of the horizontal arm S, having the socketed head S', the horizontal rod T, secured in the said socketed head, and having the recesses T in its upper side, and the umbrella stick or handle fittedon the said rod, and having the bolt to engage either of the said recesses, and thereby lock the umbrella stick or handle to the rod T at any desired adjustment, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

FREDRTCK HAITZ.
